Card and Scrapbooking Supplies Blog

It was initially a comment from my sister that caused me to look at these inks. I have never really been too interested in inks apart from distressing edges of cards and books and the occasional stamping of sentiments etc.

My sisters comment was “Have you seen those new Distress oxides? They look amazing.’ Of course I had to check them out and so looked at the initial You Tube posts by Tim Holtz at CHA. I then think I watched every You Tube post that was posted as I waited patiently to receive the inks.

These are my initial results. I love creating with them and after only having them a week I am itching to get a day in the craft room to really ‘play’.

Used the Tim Holtz die Mixed Media #2 by cutting and placing over the top of the card. The bling is Nuvo Drops and the With Love die is from a Tattered Lace Magazine Free gift.

Used the Tim Holtz die Mixed Media #2 by cutting directly into the top layer with an underlay. The bling is Nuvo Drops and the With Love die is from a Tattered Lace Magazine Free gift. The butterfly has also been coloured using the Distress Oxides.

This time using with textured paste. I mixed three colours into 3 seperate globs of paste and then pressed into the Splash stencil. The paper flowers were initially pale pink but were dipped into wet Worn Lipstick DO.

The Gears are a Cheery Lynn die and the sentiment and men are from a Tim Holtz Stamp and die set.
